Two starters into the portal already. Thinking this was not a happy team as many of us thought.
Not looking all that good right now
- Thread starter RUich
- Start date
I'd be surprised if there aren't two or three more.
At this point, I’m preparing for a huge difference in next years roster.
Give me Cliff Ron Caleb Paul Jones and with the portal I am confident we will be OK
Absolutely nobody thought Jacob would be back, and Myles was 50/50 by the end.
And what's the over/under on games fouled out of by Cliff next season ?
Didnt we already know this on Sunday night?
Two players who many thought were leaving are in fact leaving. Two players who, despite having more eligibility, have graduated from Rutgers.

Not looking good? Lets see two players on our team graduated, one of whom is 24 years lold already. Isnt this what college students do? As much as people want MJ back, he is making his decision based on education, not hoops.
people need to get a grip.

Players come. Players go. As Heraclitus observed, " you cannot step into the same river twice".
These posts/threads are great so i can get my ignore list bulked up.
just what the hell are you talking about..we all knew JY was leaving, what difference does it make if its to the pros or another school. Myles was always at least 50/50 to leave
There is enough kids in the portal to field 75+ teams. It’s just the reality of our world today. No loyalty. Everyone is a bit selfish. It’s everywhere not just basketball.
I agree that fouling will be a problem for Cliff. Personally, I'm not at all confident Reiber. All of which makes PSU Harrar that much more appealing.
Save this post for when we have more transfers.
Otherwise stop over reacting. Young was never expected back.

Did anybody think we were going to go from zero tournaments in 30 years to making it every season? Many programs are cyclical. We might go a bit but the key question is whether we come back up. Richard Pitino couldn't do it at Minnesota and got fired. Fran McCaffrey had two sub-70 KenPom seasons but bounced back.
I think it depends on what happens with JY.
If he goes to another sweet 16 level tournament team then that’s bad IMO.
If he goes to a blue blood like Kansas, UNC, Duke, etc then I can’t blame him.
If he goes pro then I get it.
3 scenarios, 1 of which would sound the alarm.

Its definitely a solid core. We won't know realistic expectations for this team next season until we see how the portal shakes out.
Rutgers is a B1G team coming off a tournament appearance. There are going to be a thousand kids in the portal. We should be able to land a couple really good players.
Its going to turn out better than most think
You’re probably right, Scangg, but it’s upsettimg watching this sausage get ground up before it’s made.
It's happening all over the country. No reason whatsoever to panic. It sucks yes, but this was never forever. Everybody moves on at some point. Wish them well and move on.
It is upsetting to see this BUT I think this also is a fallback for him. Rutgers has to recruit and can’t wait for him to decide.
so this way he keeps his options open also.
At least this is what I’m telling myself bc if he wanted to stay in college and didn’t decided to transfer from here after being the star I would be dumbfounded

He brought us from the laughing stock to tourney in a handful of years. We aren’t going to be as bad as when he arrived no matter what happens.
The two starters were graduating. The overwhelming majority of guys who are graduating and intend to be "Super Seniors" are transferring.
I wouldn't read too much into it until a freshman, sophomore or junior who was a starter, or played starter minutes, enters the portal.
Young should probably get an agent and start getting paid to play somewhere on another continent.
Mason Gross School of Arts has produced some nightly five drama queens.
he's the coach who got us to the NCAA Tournament which the previous five coaches couldn't do. And he won the tournament game that the previous six coaches couldn't win.
from laughingstock to playing for a Sweet 16 bid....You Pike haters are the worst.
But I don’t think anyone expected them to be in the portal. To me, entering the portal means I still want to play college ball - but not for you. It may not mean that but it sure feels that way.
